Now, the creative minds behind the Shocker and Ion are changing the face of paintball again with the eNMEyTM. With a purely pneumatic design, the eNMEyTM is a regulated spool valve marker in the same price range as entry level blowback paintguns.

“There’s no hammer, mainspring or sear in the eNMEyTM. You’ve got to shoot it to believe it,” says GOG’s Adam Gardner, referring to the smooth performance made possible by the marker’s spool valve design. “That’s why we’re inviting paintball techs from around the world to take the eNMEyTM tech class free of charge at this year’s World Cup – and to leave with an eNMEyTM of their own.”

Sounds like a step below.
Definitely sounds like they're trying to get into the field market. Smart play for them. Their guns are far easier to maintain than 98's. Not that ease of maintenance means field owners will start cleaning their rentals until after something falls/breaks off their guns.

This all sounds cool and i cant wait to see it, but how could it be a step below the envy? The envy is pretty simple. Theres no real bells and whistles to it so whats left for them to downgrade? If what you guys are saying is true, how can you make a mech spool valve marker?

wait so this isn't gonna be electro... you can't do a spool w/o electro it isn't possible

The Automag is the original spool valve marker, and it was around in '89. An electronic version of the marker wasn't marketed until 2000. Tom Kaye, the creator of the marker actually holds patents that that cover force-fed loaders (most modern loaders), paddle-agitated loaders (the illustrations basically show a ReVolution), searless blowforward markers (illustrations show poppets and spools), and both mechanical and electronically actuated spool valve markers with sears. He has yet to bully anyone who has utilized his IP.

Forest Hatcher of Armson LLC / ProTeam Products holds a patent that covers the only hammerless/searless semi automatic marker I've ever seen, I will be interested to see the design for this new marker from GOG. The only other designs I'm picturing are similar to an ICE Epic or a PEC gun.

Guys, please remember this is a fully pneumatic gun aimed towards entry level players. For the price, you are getting a spool valve that can take a beating. Just be happy to have an alternative to Tippmans and Spyders lol.

hmm this is interesting... I was looking at the picture again and if you look closely, it appears as if the new eNMEy has a single finger trigger. It looks alot like the envy from what i can see, but it also appears to have slightly different milling on the body. The barrel and asa look exactly the same as the envy's barrel and asa. Im guessing the regulator is the same too. The feedneck also appears to be the same as the one on the eNVy.
